The chimera was crying out in pain and a desperate need of help. Every second of its body was rebelling against its instincts.The creature wanted to live but its body wanted to die. And that was a painful existence for any creature to bear.
"I am sorry to prolong your suffering but I will set you free as soon as I find out who your master is."
Amane promised the suffering creature but the chimera did not care about her words. It brought up its clawed hands and tried to kill Amane. It was out of its mind because of the pain it was suffering from.
Of course, Amane did not let the Chimera touch her body. She swiftly diverted the attack away from her body and pressed against a pressure point.
The massive claw that had been attacking Amane just seconds before was numb now. But the beast was not done.
The beast could feel the pressure of an apex predator pushing down over its head. And the beast wanted to break free and flee from the overwhelming pressure.
"I am sorry. If there was a better way to capture you, I would have preferred that over brute force."
Amane whispered those words when she raised her hand. Chains erupted from the ground and bound the chimera's body. They also had a sedating effect which still the beast in pain.
In record time, Amane had managed to take care of an enraged beast. But she could feel that the real reason behind her success had been the lack of Chimaera's will and energy to escape.
"Lady T-Tsurugi, you did it. I cannot believe you managed to capture the beast that easily. You are so cool."
One of the younger students of Ashely Tunner tried to come closer to her and the beast behind her. But the chimera did not like that action.
The beast might have accepted Amane but that was more due to her constitution that was closer to the beast. Things would not end that well for anyone else.
"Be careful kid. Do not be reckless and do things you cannot afford to."
Luckily, Charlie managed to catch the teen before he could make a fatal mistake. Out of everyone here, Charlie Suzuki had caught Amane's signal and stopped a tragedy from happening. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The teen student looked at Charlie and then at the agitated chimera before taking a step back.
"Ah, I s-see what you mean. Thank you so much for your guidance, divine leader."
The child understood just how much danger he had been in seconds ago and finally made a smart decision.
...….
"What a magnificent creature. It is so well-made that I did not even recognize the hidden features of a Naga. Such a splendid being this creature is. It shall be preserved, to be let free and allowed to live out its life."
Ashley Tunner's eyes were wide in awe and shock at seeing a mixture of beasts. He had always admired these creatures and now he could see them.
It felt as if his lifelong dream had come true.
He took one unconscious step toward the creature and then another. He needed to touch the chimera once. He could feel the way this creature was calling out for him. The creature wanted Ashely to touch and study it as well.
They both had a bond with each other.
"Alright, that is enough. No one shall be allowed to come near this Chimera for the time being. We shall set an execution date for it soon."
Lady Tsurugi's orders enraged Ashely. He could not see why such a magnificent beast needed to be killed off.
What this beast needed was protection and a lot of affection. That way, the wounds inflicted on it could be healed away and it could be protected.
"Kill this magnificent piece of art? Have you gone mad? This is a living and breathing beast. A being of far more dignity and beauty than any other creature on this planet. We need to let the world know of its beauty and…"
"This beast needs to die. It is begging to die even now. If not for the information we can get from it, I would have relieved its pain by now. And, since I tamed this beast, it is under my authority. You have no right to butt in."
Ashley Tunner gritted his teeth as he looked at the foolish female in front of him.
Yoko Tsurugi was turning out to be more and more of a headache for him at this point. She refused to see the true beauty of these beasts and she talked about them as if they were animals.
And now, because of her, the most magnificent creature Ashely had seen would be killed off.
'I cannot allow that to happen. No way. Never. I would never allow this magnificent creature to die. I shall free it from the chains holding it back.'
Seeing how Ashely Tunner was hostile to Yoko Tsurugi, the students he had cultivated could also not help but fear her. They looked at Amane like she was a devil out to get them.
"Lady Suzuki, I shall be taking this chimera back with me. I hope you will be able to take care of things here in my stead." Enjoy exclusive chapters from M-V-L
Amane pointed out toward the people behind her. They all gulped as one when they looked at Amane. But they held their ground against her which amused her a lot. These people just did now know when to give up.
But the man in the middle of it all - Ashley Tunner did not loom away. He was aware of the enemies he was making here but it did not matter.
The magnificent creature had captured his heart and his attention. And Ashely needed to set it free at all costs.
Ashley did not want to show his desires openly. He wanted to keep it all hidden until he was ready to take care of this creature. So that was why he hid his intentions.
Of course, Amane was not an immature first-timer who was dealing with a stubborn man like Ashely Tunner. She had seen so many irrational people with weird kinks that she was not even surprised when Ashely Tunner began to admire the creature behind her.
'Just another face I will need to keep an eye on in the future. I feel like my worries are multiplying by the second now. But this is the only time I will not complain about this.'
Amane signaled for Sean and Charlie to keep an eye on these people. She was certain that they would try to free the chimera when she was not there. And that would spell disaster for everyone in here.
"Ugh, I hate dealing with irrational people. I better get my part of the work done fast."
Amane put a hand on the beast's head and the chimera pulled itself up.
Even this small action required everything the chimera had. Amane did not want to push the suffering beast too much so she used her mana to numb the pain.
"I shall take my leave now. I hope you all have a pleasant time ahead of you."
Amane bowed and the beast followed her. She could still feel the presence of those heavy eyes looking at her. She was certain that she would do something drastic if she looked back now.
Charlie Suzuki and her company watched Amane go back with the Chimaera. There was a lot of work left to be done on the site so she could not sit around lazily.
"Alright everyone, you know what you need to do now. Clean up this mess and I shall see you all soon. I have a lot of paperwork to do for now."
Charlie Suzuki stood up as well. She looked at the people she was leaving.
Ashley Tunner was still acting suspiciously and he would soon make a mistake. And that would be the time Charlie make her move.
But she still had a bad feeling about all this. It felt as if she was missing something critical about this situation.
'Ugh, I am sure I am overreacting. Things would be alright once we uncover this mystery. It is not like we do not know how our opponent is.'
There was only one organization big enough to fund a process like a chimera birthing - the hive. But the real question was - why were they doing this and what was their objective?
What did those people in the hive need all these experiments for?
On the other side of the city, a girl pressed herself against the wall as she watched her family being murdered by a giant mixture of beasts. But that was not the reason this girl was horrified.
It was because of the calm humanoid figure standing at the beast's side and giving out orders. He was a cruel human being but his voice sounded young.
And the hidden child could not help but sob helplessly as her family was murdered.
